Our Gen alpha grandkids don’t have devices.

Their Gen Z parents (along with some others) are trying to persuade the school not to require everyone to have tablets in grade 2. Anticipating failure they already have the lock box for the tablets for when they get home. No mobile phone until 14. Or maybe 16. We weren’t so strict, and one of the best moments was when the boys had given up CoD, Halo, Fortnite etc and only played online chess and FIFA.

If kids can’t read by the time they’re six or seven, it’s the parents fault (desperately hoping eegk can read!).
